Back before I had my children, I never really imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to talk about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally meet with 3 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Geppetto's Pizza & Ribs - Euclid (which is in CLEVELAND, OH) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and in particular water ways. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can get organic baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely committed to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to older children. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
